Weingut Unterhofer

The family has been involved in viticulture for several generations, and today the business is run by Thomas Unterhofer. According to the farm's philosophy, tradition, nature, passion and quality should be reflected in every bottle. The vineyards cover four hectares of vineyards in the communities of Kampenn and Kaltern on mostly very steep slopes, which are cultivated by hand according to environmentally friendly guidelines. They are planted with the white wine varieties Pinot Blanc, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Kerner, as well as Merlot and several varieties of the red wine Vernatsch (Schiava). The DOC South Tyrolean white wines Sauvignon Blanc and Kerner (yield-reduced 50 quintals per hectare) and the red wine DOC St. Magdalener (20% of the grapes dried on the vine) are among the premium wines. About 22,000 bottles of wine are produced annually, 15% go to Germany. The winery is a member of Freie Weinbauern Südtirol, Wein.Kaltern, Konsortium Südtiroler Wein and FIVI (Federazione Italiana Vignaioli Indipendenti).
